    Did he fire more than one? With no sound it’s hard to tell.

    Three shots, from what I read.

        Indeed. He waited for the vic to walk by and shot him in what appears to be the leg, then more in the torso.

          I have found almost no sympathy for this guy anywhere on social media. I think America is united in its hatred of our health insurance system.

          Education is extremely important.

            Very. Looked like he had a suppressor too. Not random.

              Yeah he had to “cock” the gun between each shot. Yes 3-4 shots. I have to run an errand later, will drive by his house. I wonder if there is a cop outside of it now.

                He wasn't cocking the gun, he was clearing a jam. Looks like a pistol, maybe small caliber. (I don't see a lot of muzzle rise and I don't see the upward flash of a compensator. So if it's small caliber with a suppressor, there's definitely a paper trail. Especially on the suppressor.

                He's not a pro. Bad location. Bad shooting. Too many cameras.

                  Also, unless I heard incorrectly, there were 3 live rounds at the scene in addition to the brass.

                        I don't understand why he put a suppressor on the pistol. According to RUnkle (in the video), that might have been the cause of the gun misfiring.

                          I’ve seen too many jokes about whether he was waiting to get his treatment approved when he died. I’ve not seen the glee which I’m sure is there from haters. Because I’ve gone out of my way not to look.

                                  He has over a hundred thousand followers on X and more than a quarter million on YouTube.

                                      He also REALLY knows guns. He's a firearm defense attorney in Canada (Edmonton), and has argued cases before the Supreme Court in Canada.

                                        I don't understand why he put a suppressor on the pistol. According to RUnkle (in the video), that might have been the cause of the gun misfiring.

                                        Possibly, because the gases don't bleed the same way. Besides, for a suppressor to be at its best, you need subsonic ammo, which has to be loaded down in almost all cases. Depending on the pistol, some are a lot more finicky about pressure than others. At the least, you should probably put in different weight recoil springs or buffers.

                                        Pistols silence better than revolvers, because of the cylinder gap. Some guns just won't work with suppressors. An M1 carbine will blow a suppressor apart (don't ask me how I know) because the .30 carbine round is a hot pistol round in truth and generates a good deal of gas to work the action

                                          Back to the shooting, how was the guy expecting him to be out on the sidewalk at 6:45am?

                                          People are creatures of habit? Or he knew the victim's meeting schedule and staked out the site?

                                          “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                          Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
